With your support, the Rosarito Friends of the Library has accomplished many things. Here are some of our successes:
  • Six years of the Rosarito city-wide reading initiative, Rosarito lee (Rosarito reads), with  programs in all 5 libraries, local schools, visits by the authors, and a Gran Evento at the Centro de Convenciones. 
  • Expansion of the Rosarito Lee program into the La Mision area and into a Tijuana school near the northern end of Rosarito
  • Our Bookmobile now goes into a number of remote neighborhoods and even in its first year of operation is already beloved in the community and bringing reading to more children and families
  • Bringing technology into all the branches in conjunction with Denver Tech for All, by installing 5 computers in each branch
  • Moms and Tots Story Time reading program in conjunction with Grupo Inicial de Educacion no Escolarizada (​Early Childhood Education group)
  • We donated more than $7,000 worth of Spanish language books to the local public libraries
  • We donated more than $2,500 worth of library/art/craft supplies to the five libraries:
  • We sponsored and ran children’s reading programs at all five public libraries.
  • We've given prizes of new bicycles, skates, scooters, backpacks, books and school supplies to participants in the children’s reading programs. Sometimes tangible rewards can motivate reading at the beginning until the children realize that reading is its own reward

How is all this possible? It takes members....   and some of those members volunteering some of their time. Please consider joining the roster of FOL current members - at a level comfortable for you.
